Avoiding the Royal Wedding

[TANGODANCER]

See I don't mind the immediate monarchy, ie the Queen and her family (with a few notable exceptions of course). It's all the bloody hangers on; all the Chelsea Charlies and hooray Henry's and Henrietta's and their friends of friends and the dignitaries, and MP's and so on. I'd admire them a whole lot more if they just slipped off somewhere for a private wedding and not brought the country to a halt for something that 75% of us probably don't give a dam about. Good to know her Maj and the girl's parents will be paying for the whole thing out of their own pockets....they will be, won't they? I mean, there's a recession on and all that, and what good's a holiday to the unemployed and unemployable? They'll all be at home anyway:|

It'll make a change from Jeremy Kyle...

Oh aye. He'll probably be at the reception.

Seeing as William is likely to be King, he's pretty immediate

Quite so, he's also part of he Queen's family as I said.

So why shouldn't his wedding be a national event?

Because he is part of a tiny parasitic minority of the nation?

It will be. My comments are unlikely to cause much concern in the palace drawing room.

My mates getting married on saturday.

I'll call ITV, see if they're interested.

I don't care either way - I did the booking of three days to get eleven so I'll be oblivious anyway.

Oh and William, you don't help yourself at times

It is Friday April 29, and that has been declared a national holiday, so that the entire nation can rejoice. No idea what time.

Anyone got a puke emoticon?

I shall be in Spain, debating between swordfish, golden bream and hake... A chilled white from Valdepenas...

There's a certain irony in you telling us all twice in 47 minutes that you are off on a trip to Spain in a thread bemoaning the media constantly banging on about a Royal Wedding, Will.

Your forthcoming holiday may get a tad boring by 29 April.

What aircraft will you be boarding? What outfit will you travel in? The nation needs to know.

Still remember being in Australia when Charles and Diana got engaged. Front page headlines every day it seemed from October till I left that May. Drove me absolute bonkers. Was such a relief to get home and find out it was at least a non event until a week before the wedding. My Mom even managed to get a beer mug with Diana and Charles on to give to me as a present. Think living in Thailand, and the fact I don't have TV hooked up at home I should be pretty safe this time around.

All sounds like a lot of effort. I'm just gonna go to the pub.

seeme like a perfect day to get up and take dog for long walk by the sea somewhere and then lock the door, close the curtains and watch a whole DVD set of one of those series I have been meaning to catch up on - like Boardwalk Empire or summat...

[TANGODANCER]

End of day it'll happen. Some will watch, some wont, the TV and newspapers will have a two-day pirahna fest and then i'll all be over till the next one. The world spins on, Bolton Wanderers march on, and the sun also rises.
